+Re: Anyone here taking protocol at a Fibro and Fatigue Clinic?

[Guest guest]

Dear Mort,

First let me say I am very sorry you have suffered all these many years with

CFS. I have had two sieges of CFS----one at age 34, lasting one year, and the

second at age 52 lasting 12 years. I come from a mainstream medical

family---uncle MD, mother nurse, ex-father-in-law MD. That said it was

holistic/integrative health care from some of the varying medicals you discount

that saved my life both times. I am thankful that I did not follow the

mainstream medical ignorance of CFS----because it would have trapped me as many,

such as yourself, into downward health disasters. It is my experience that

individuals who position mainstream medical up on pedestals are deeping scarred

by the eventual let down. Kathi referred to here had a terrible experience,

AND she also had a brother, an MD who was not able to help her. She doesn't

blame her brother for her health problems---but yet feels she was mistreated by

her FFC MD. To condemn the FFC's is not fair----they have a very successful

protocol, which has served many, myself being one. No doctor is perfect---to

realize and educate oneself on what is or isn't working is each patients

responsibility. I had read about Dr. Teitlbaums protocol for several years

before I started care at the Atlanta FFC. I received good care, with

resounding success regaining my health.

Anyone looking for a doctor educated in CFS care can check out

www.ACAM.org------or call Dr. Teitlebaums' office for doctors trained in his

protocol----they are not nessacarily only in FFC clinics. Remember FFC clinics

are owned privately by man who HAD CFS, and saw the need. Dr. Teitlebaum is

only the " medical director " ----they follow his protocol, but he is not involved

in the day to day care.

Disappointment can be a powerful negative energy---but if one turns it around

immediately, the air is cleared, and a new answer is on the horizon.

God Bless,

Sara
